A few weeks ago Canadian HW David Whittom was in critical condition & now former UFC fighter turned school teacher is brain dead after being KO'd in Edmonton last night. I've seen both of these guys fight live. Hague was only a part time fighter & it's very sad this happened...
Tim Hague brain dead after KO loss to Braidwood

Too be honest I think it could have been. He got dropped 3 times in the 1st round & there was a slip too that could have been counted. No 3 KD rule in Edmonton so the ref let it go on. Hague use to be a pretty tough guy but he wasn't in top shape & was coming off a KO loss a couple months ago. The ref is pretty experienced & been officiating in Edmonton for a long time. I'm sure he is feeling very badly & questioning himself as Hague much like Whittom was a well liked guy in Edmonton. He is/was a school teacher moonlighting as a boxer. He was a late replacement for Paez. Very sad news in Canadian boxing only weeks after the Whittom situation...Comment
